• A GOOD DAY

    From Jeff Binkley@1:226/600 to Ed Hulett on Fri Aug 6 04:17:00 2010


    One bit of nonsense (California's Proposition 8) was shown to
    have RS> nothing to it. Just anti-gay bigotry.

    Yeah screw the will of the voters..

    California voters also approved of locking up "the Japs" during
    WW2.

    They did? The internment camps were a federal thing and the EH>Japanese-Americans were "relocated" by executive order signed by FDR.
    The states and the voters had nothing to do with it.

    There you go with the facts again.


    And Elena Kagan will now be Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan,
    a RC>> big RS> poke in the eye to the professioanl rabble-rousers on
    the right-wing RS> like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.

    Just like the big pokes in the eye you got when Dubya's
    nominee's got in..

    Now tell us about her judicial experience?

    Right after you tell me about William Rehnquist's judicial
    experience.

    Far more than Kagan's.

    Here's Kagan's limited experience:

    Here's Rehnquist's experience -- Notice the 16 years of private
    practice:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Rehnquist

    Kagan never practiced law as a lawyer. She went from learning to
    teaching and then to work for Clinton and Obama.

    Rehnquist's judicial experience dwarfs Kagan's.

    You really should do more than let HuffPo and Media Matters tell you
    what to think.

    Won't happen.

    So you are claiming that the bastion of liberalism, California, is made
    up of people who are mostly anti-gay ? Does the will of the people
    matter any longer ?

    Was it "the will of the people?"

    If it wasn't, what was it?

    Right-wing Christian groups poured millions into promoting (and blatantly lying about) Proposition 8.

    The anti-Prop 8 forces outspent the pro-Prop 8 by more than double. The majority of pro-Prop 8 contributions were from individuals.

    Even with all the money and lies, the measure passed only narrowly.

    Huh? What are you smoking? It passed overwhelmingly.

    And California is as much a "bastion of liberalism" as your town is.

    California is a solid blue state.

    Now Otto is trying to claim that California voters forced FDR to issue his executive order. Otto even threw in a "corrupt general" who supposedly bought all their land at "fire-sale prices."

    Many neighboring farmers bought up the land and then sold it back to the original owners for what they paid for it.

    I know, but there is always hope.
